This is about using every non radiation non chemo treatment for cancer.
All research and results will be posted.
Nasal cancer in dogs. Canine nasal cancer.

Not just Holistic, but how to use E: All of the Above!

I made this blog because I did tons of research on success stories and research worldwide and used it on my dog with nasal cancer named Lucy. So, now my hobby is molecular biology. The treatment uses combination of health store supplements, some prescription meds,diet changes,and specific Ayurvedic and Chinese medicinal herbs. I just wanted her to have a better quality of life. I thought this combination of E: All the Above (except no radiation or chemo) would help that for sure, but it actually put her bleeding nasal cancer in remission!My approach to cancer is about treating the whole animals biologic system. But I do hate the word 'Holistic'. Sounds like hoo hoo. This is science based, research based data and results of using active herbal compounds that happen to be readily available and common. Some call itNutriceuticals.Others may call itOrthomolecular cancer therapy. Or Cancer Immunotherapy.

-Working with your vet for exams and prescriptions that are sometimes needed when conditions are acute.

Just by using a multi-modal treatment approach that is as diverse in attack as possible. Both conventional and natural.

The body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place must be corrected. If caught early enough, like with Lucy, this ongoing maintenance correctional treatment is all that was required at this point to achieve, so far, more than 10 TIMES the life expectancy given (more than 60 months) after diagnosis WITH remission. I did not use radiation or chemotherapy.

CURRENT STATUS - It was for more than 5 YEARS after Lucy was diagnosed March 2010 with nasal cancer that she lived. And she was in remission for 4 of 5 years using no radiation or chemo! Now multiply that by 7 to be 35 years extended!! She was 12.5 years old - equivalent to almost 90 human years old. She ended her watch December 1, 2016. I miss her so much.

Dog can't breath so much mucous give Mucinex?

Dog can't breath so much mucous. Can I give Mucinex?"The mucinex works well if she drinks plenty of water to make the phlegm watery so it drains better. Might take a bit though. It's an uphill battle at first.It won't shrink tissue like Prednisone but at least it will let mucous drain alot easier. Benedryl kinda dries up mucous wateryness but does not help with flow. Just don't give benedryl for too long then it gets too dry and thickens the mucous again. We just want a little less wateryness after the mucinex gets stuff unclogged some."Here is a another quote from someone I found: "There really are no good decongestants to give a dog but after trying several things I did find out that Mucinex helped Dash some..It is really for chest congestion but seemed to help break up his nasal mucus so it drained out and he could breathe a little better. "This quote I found with google before with the others on mucinex I found:"The dose of Mucinex I gave Dash was 1/2 a tablet every 12 hrs as needed so 1/2 the 12yr old to adult human dose. He was 45-50lbs. He had no problems with it but he had a caste iron gut and often ate things that would make most dogs sick yet he never got sick from any of it."See if that correlates to what others have said in those links below on Mucinex that I found. It's hard to find much info on using Mucinex in dogs. Just what those 2 vets said and what a few people have said.http://en.allexperts.com/q/Dogs-701/Sudden-Coughing-snotty-sound.htmhttp://canigivemydog.com/mucinexhttp://www.justanswer.com/dog-health/2sta4-give-dog-mucinex-dm.html !!!don't buy the DM version. Just plain Mucinex with no cough suppressant and no sudafed. Just straight plain 12 hour mucinex.http://www.justanswer.com/dog-health/2yw3u-give-dog-mucinex-maximum-strength.htmlMucokinetics are a class of drugs which aid in the clearance of mucus from the airways, lungs, bronchi, and trachea. Such drugs can be further categorized by their mechanism of action.-expectorants-mucolytic agents-wetting agents / hypoviscosity agents-abhesives / surfactants

In general, clearance ability is hampered by bonding to surfaces (stickiness) and by the viscosity (thickness) of mucous secretions in the lungs. In turn, the viscosity is dependent upon the concentration of mucoprotein in the secretions.

Expectorants and Mucolytic agents are different types of medication, yet both intend to promote drainage of mucus from the lungs.

An Expectorant (from the Latin expectorare, to expel from the chest) works by signaling the body to increase the amount or hydration of secretions, resulting in more yet clearer secretions and as a byproduct lubricating the irritated respiratory tract. One expectorant guaifenesin is commonly available in many cough syrups. Sometimes the term "expectorant" is incorrectly extended to any cough medicine, since it is a universal component.[1]

A mucolytic agent is an agent which dissolves thick mucus and is usually used to help relieve respiratory difficulties. It does so by dissolving various chemical bonds within secretions, which in turn can lower the viscosity by altering the mucin-containing components.

Alternatively, attacking the affinity between secretions and the biological surfaces is another avenue, which is used by abhesives and surfactants.

Any of these effects could potentially improve airway clearance during coughing.

An expectorant increases bronchial secretions and mucolytics help loosen thick bronchial secretions. Expectorants reduce the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions thus increasing mucus flow that can be removed more easily through coughing, Mucolytics break down the chemical structure of mucus molecules. The mucus becomes thinner and can be removed more easily.—Adams, Holland, & Bostwick, 2008, p. 591SO THEY ARE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT!!!!!!!GUESS WHAT? NAC (Acetylcysteine rINN (pron.: /əˌsɛtəlˈsɪstiːn/), also known as N-acetylcysteine or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (abbreviated NAC), is a pharmaceutical drug and nutritional supplement used primarily as a mucolytic agent and in the management of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. Other uses include sulfate repletion in conditions, such as autism, where cysteine and related sulfur amino acids may be depleted.[2]

Acetylcysteine is a derivative of cysteine; an acetyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom. This compound is sold as a dietary supplement commonly claiming antioxidant and liver protecting effects. It is used as a cough medicine because it breaks disulfide bonds in mucus and liquefies it, making it easier to cough up. It is also this action of breaking disulfide bonds that makes it useful in thinning the abnormally thick mucus in cystic and pulmonary fibrosis patients.Mucolytic therapy

NAC Acetylcysteine is indicated for mucolytic ("mucus-dissolving") therapy as an adjuvant in respiratory conditions with excessive and/or thick mucus production. Such conditions include emphysema, bronchitis, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, amyloidosis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is also used post-operatively, as a diagnostic aid, and in tracheotomy care. However, a recent paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that high-dose oral N-acetylcysteine modulates inflammation in cystic fibrosis and has the potential to counter the intertwined redox and inflammatory imbalances in CF.[11] Oral acetylcysteine may also be used as a mucolytic in less serious cases.

For this indication, acetylcysteine acts to reduce mucus viscosity by splitting disulfide bonds linking proteins present in the mucus (mucoproteins).I ALSO GIVE LICORICE ROOT 1 CAPSULE. IT HAS MUCOUS AND MANY OTHER GOOD PROPERTIES.I GIVE LUCY 1 NAC 600mg capsule in the AM meal. I get both from swanson.As always, check with your vet. But be prepared for them to not be sure. What can we do? Well, google google google.

Dog Cancer Support

We could really use some help here...
This diverse protocol IS working for others.
But we need funds to keep this support going. We are not selling anything.
Even if you don't donate, we will answer questions.
We love dogs. And getting so much positive feedback (and data) from other dog owners is helping us move forward to extend the quality of life of dogs with cancer.
Thanks for helping us help others.
